We gratefully acknowledge contributions made to DACS by:

o Canadian Council of Forest Ministers (CCFM) and the National Forest
  Information System (NFIS) for supporting development of the initial
  releases of DACS and subsequent enhancements

o Poul-Henning Kamp <phk@FreeBSD.ORG> for his public domain malloc library
  and MD5 crypt function (both very slightly modified for DACS)

o Doug Lea <dl@cs.oswego.edu> for his public domain malloc library

o Various code originating from OpenBSD or FreeBSD distributions,
  included here verbatim or slightly modified for DACS, with authorship
  retained when available

o Per Bothner <per@bothner.com> and the FSF for configuration scripts
  used in conjunction with a script generated by Autoconf

o National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Computer Security
  Division, Computer Security Resource Center (http://csrc.nist.gov)
  for HMAC, SHA-3, CTR mode, and other test vectors

o The authors of crypto-related RFCs and those who have shared test vectors
  in public forums (some cited in crypto.c)

o SunPro, a Sun Microsystems, Inc. business, for some open source math
  functions

o Ozan Yigit <oz@nexus.yorku.ca> for his 32-bit hash function

o Bob Jenkins <bob_jenkins@compuserve.com> for his 64-bit hash function

o David Waite <dwaite@pingidentity.com> and Ping Identity for
  InformationCard-C (1.0.1), which was adapted and extended to support
  self-issued InfoCards in DACS (a now-deprecated feature)

o Samuel Hidalgo and others working on simpleSAMLphp
  (http://rnd.feide.no/simplesamlphp), Rob Richards of CDATA Zone
  (http://www.cdatazone.org), and David Coombs of Carillon Information
  Security (http://www.carillon.ca) for their work on Managed InfoCards
  (all used for testing and bootstrapping development of DACS support; now
  deprecated)

o The Cool Text Graphics Generator (http://cooltext.com)

o GoDaddy.com and RapidSSL.com for providing qualified open source projects
  such as DACS with a complimentary SSL certificate, and
  Let's Encrypt (letsencrypt.org) for its free SSL certificates and
  associated services

o MM Weiss for the implementation of clock_gettime() for MAC OS X

o Contributors of various open source licensed code; refer to NOTICES and DACS
  source code for specific licenses and credits

o Christoph Berg <cbe@dg-i.net> and others for creating and maintaining
  the DACS Debian GNU/Linux package

o Colin Percival <cperciva@tarsnap.com> for the reference implementation
  of scrypt

o Colin Plumb for his public domain MD5 implementation, deprecated for
  most applications, but used here for necessities of compatibility and
  hysterical reasons.  Whistle Communications, Inc. for its implementation
  of ARC4.  Alexander Peslyak <solar at openwall.com> for his implementation
  of MD4.

o Aleksey Kravchenko <rhash.admin@gmail.com> for his implementation
  of SHA-3, which has been modified for DACS, and also those who supplied
  and/or verified test vectors for SHA-3; also Wolfgang Ehrhardt
  (http://wolfgang-ehrhardt.de) for his HMAC-SHA3 test vectors

o This product includes cryptographic software written by
  Eric Young (eay@cryptsoft.com).
  This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project
  for use in the OpenSSL Toolkit (http://www.openssl.org/).

o The Stanford SRP Authentication Project (http://srp.stanford.edu/)

o Authors of the Argon2 key derivation function, Blake2 cryptographic digest
  functions, and test vectors; the official Argon2 implementation is at
  https://github.com/p-h-c/phc-winner-argon2
  and is released under a Creative Commons CC0 license.  See blake2b.c
  and argon2.c

o D. J. Bernstein and OpenBSD for the public domain implementation of
  ChaCha20, and J. Strombergson for test vectors (see crypto.c)

o Julien BALLET and the other authors and contributors to libdsm,
  sponsored by VideoLabs SAS, identified in libdsm/AUTHORS and released
  under the LGPL.  See https://videolabs.github.io/libdsm

o hecke (http://naberius.de/), who created a Linux port of the FreeBSD
  RADIUS client library (libradius), which remains BSD-licensed
  (see src/libradius)

o DACS users who have reported bugs, supplied bug fixes, or suggested
  improvements

o Installations that have supported DACS, since its beginnings in 2001,
  by purchasing technical support from DSS

o And anyone else we have unintentionally failed to recognize
  (sorry - please let us know!)
